In Cat meow has a specific meaning (and as an aside cats do not meow each other, they meow humans). Meow is a two part word. The 'me' is an appeasement sound, 'I want to be friends', the 'ow' is a warning sound, 'I have my rights'.
It's a cats way of saying your place is to be my friend, or I will hurt you.
0bama isn't a meow person.
He's a Me! Me! Me! Me! person...
Good stuff!
(Lest there be further confusion, the emphasis is on the FIRST word there.)
